In thе film thе woman felt a lump οn hеr armpit аnd іt turned out thаt ѕhе hаd breast cancer. Bу thе way, I’m a 19 year ancient female.
Hello See More G :
Yes it can be in the arm pit it can be any place that a breast lymph node
goes. Most men get it in the arm pit area and that’s why most men reckon
its not breast cancer. And it is rare for a 19 year ancient to get breast cancer
but don’t keep it to your self go see the doctor and they can do a ultra sound
and a needle biopsy to find out what the lump is. At your age the mammogram
would not be recommended as your breast would be to thick of mass for
a mammogram to see the problem. When were younger the breast
tissue is thicker than when we get older.
But a doctor would be able to help you better than any of us could.
Excellent luck.
At 19, your risk of breast cancer is close to zero.
Breast cancer is a cancer that starts in breast tissue, this tissue can cover part of the underarm area.
If breast cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, the most likely ones to be unnatural are those below the arms. If you can feel a lump from this spread to lymph nodes, that would be a honestly advanced breast cancer.
There are a lot of different glands in the underarm are, and a range of different things that can produce them to swell.
While cancer is unlikely, it is worth being paid this tartan to be sure that it is nothing of concern.
